The last combo I'd take on a $12K+ brown bear hunt would be a Mossberg rifle and a Leupold scope.
WOW, how the
mighty are fallen.
I had a VX III in 2.5-8X40 (? think that’s right) a LONG time ago. It’s the only Leu.
that I ever had. WAS a great scope.
I’m sorry for their problems whatever the cause(s).
We NEED good reliable equipment.
